The Extang Encore has a unique design that allows it to open from the front or the rear of the bed. The front panel secures with BOLT®, one-key lock technology. This technology allows you to use your truck's ignition key to lock or unlock the front panel of the cover. The rear of the cover uses slam latches that work from either side of the bed, and automatically lock when the cover is closed.

The cover is constructed of 1" thick EnduraShield panels with a matte black, powder coated aluminum frame and hinges. EnduraShield is an automotive grade polymer that is highly resistant to denting, as well as scratching and UV fading. The panels also remain cool to the touch on hot days. The Extang Encore is an easy, no-drill installation. You only need basic tools like a socket wrench and a philips head screwdriver to mount the rails to the truck's bed. The cover itself can be attached or removed in seconds with no tools needed.

While no cover is 100% waterproof, the Encore does a great job keeping the weather out with the flexible EPDM rubber seals on all four sides. Extang warrants the Encore against any manufacturing defects for a period of 3 years. The cover also is made in the USA so you can rest easy knowing the quality is second to none.

Order Notes

The cargo management, utili-track, or deck rail system options refer to the factory installed rail system designed to hold moveable cargo cleats along the inside of your truck bed. Please call us for further clarification.

The top is not the easiest thing to install and without a second set of hands it's pretty much impossible. I had a local shop do the install. The top works great even when I have my fifth wheel trailer hooked up. I am not sure how much of a theft deterrent it would be as it looks like a small pry bar would slip in under the back where it meets the tailgate. However it definitely keeps prying eyes out. I would buy it again and think it adds a nice finished look to the truck. I am comfortable leaving stuff locked in the back,which would not have happened before the installation of the Extang. I think it's a little high priced but it is the only top that would allow me access to the front of the bed and also allows me to tow the fifth wheel. A nice plus is that with the trailer on I still have a locked compartment up front for gear or ice chests. Good product but the shipping took 2 times to actually get a product that didn't look like it went through a shredder.
